Evo organisers have announced the current line-up of titles to be showcased at the annual fighting game tournament in Las Vegas.

At present, Evo 2014 will front the following titles:

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Ultra Street Fighter 4

Injustice: Gods Among Us

The King of Fighters 13

Killer Instinct

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma

Fan favourite franchise Smash bros. is notably absent from the list, with Nintendo telling Shoryuken, the home of Evo, that it hasn’t ruled it out.

“While we are engaged in preliminary discussions with Evo about their upcoming event in July, the potential role of any Nintendo software at this event is undetermined at this time,” a Nintendo representative said in a statement.

This year, tournament fixtures will be determined by the results of events over the proceeding 12 months, rather than decided at a series of specific events. The details have not yet been finalised.

Aksys Games has dropped a short press release to let us know that BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma has been patched on PS3. The patch brings the home console version in line with the Vita port, which is coming in June, and “rebalances and enhances characters as well as adds improvements to the challenge and training modes”.
